Hi guys! I have PIONEER SK-21 and I repairing it.
I was cleaning it, changed belts. All works fine right now except recording.

First thing to do is clean the long record bar switch inside the boombox. You cannot miss it because it is the longest bar switch on the circuit board.
Spray Deoxit contact cleaner from both ends of it, any holes you see on the top of the switch and manually move it by pushing the end of the switch. Push it a minimum 25 times. Wait for say 10 minutes and try recording.

I suspect that the record lever connecting the mechanism to the record bar was not replaced properly.

That was my first thought also. I've been guilty of that.

I agree that have a mechanical problem:
When push rec button, play button make little jump.
This is a problem...

Actually Play has to be in mode in order for record mode to fully work. What the record button does is engage the record switch and that is what seems to be issue

Проверить?

Thanks man! You absolutely right!
